Http to https - Copy Disavow?

[twitime]

If the switch is made from http to https (with 301 redirects from http to https) should the disavow file be copied over in GWT so it is also uploaded against the https as well as the http version?

I am not sure If I get your question correctly but as per the best of my understanding if you are making a switch from http to https it’s not important to upload the disavow file of https as well and this is because 301 redirection will also take search engine bot to https versions and take the same actions accordingly.

But, to be on the safe side if you include https versions in the disavow file, it will only help! J

Let me know if it makes sense to you!

Hi,

No. As you have mentioned that you are going to use 301 redirects from http to https and a 301 redirect is a permanent redirect which passes between 90-99% of link juice (ranking power) to the redirected page.

If you disavow any link through Google search console Google makes that link nofollow**

If links are already disavowed for http that means no link value passing to http domain and same will happen to https domain because you are going to use 301 redirection( which passes between 90-99% of link juice (ranking power) to the redirected page)

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Thanks.  I had assumed the same but then I read these blog posts that seems to contradict this:
